Thermodynamics of Evolution and the Origin of Life

no code implementations28 Oct 2021 Vitaly Vanchurin, Yuri I. Wolf, Eugene V. Koonin, Mikhail I. Katsnelson

We further define the biological counterparts of temperature (biological temperature) as the measure of stochasticity of the evolutionary process and of chemical potential (evolutionary potential) as the amount of evolutionary work required to add a new trainable variable (such as an additional gene) to the evolving system.

Towards a Theory of Evolution as Multilevel Learning

no code implementations27 Oct 2021 Vitaly Vanchurin, Yuri I. Wolf, Mikhail I. Katsnelson, Eugene V. Koonin

We apply the theory of learning to physically renormalizable systems in an attempt to develop a theory of biological evolution, including the origin of life, as multilevel learning.

Alternating active-dormitive strategy enables overtaking by disadvantaged prey through Parrondo's paradox

no code implementations25 Jun 2021 Tao Wen, Eugene V. Koonin, Kang Hao Cheong

We observed higher fitness of the dormitive prey in rich environments because a large predator population in a rich environment cannot be supported by the prey without adopting an evasive strategy, that is, dormancy.

Towards physical principles of biological evolution

no code implementations1 Sep 2017 Mikhail I. Katsnelson, Yuri I. Wolf, Eugene V. Koonin

Deep analogies have been suggested to also exist between the properties of biological entities and processes, and those of frustrated states in physics, such as glasses.
